I offered her $500 for the mill, but she went and got me a cup of coffee instead. I forgot to pay her for the coffee. The cops are probably looking for me now.
Lol , You have me laughing here Sunset .............. been in the same situation , pointless trying to tell them its not worth what they think as it comes over you are trying to con them, all you can do is leave your number and when reality eventually hits home you might get a call
As far as the coffee incident ........ keep your head down for a few weeks and hopefully the police might get more important things to do in the meanwhile ............
Cheers Mick.
